	Javelin Antitank Missile
		The Javelin is a manportable, fire-and-forget, antitank missile employed by dismounted infantry to defeat current and future threat armored combat vehicles.
		The Javelin consists of a missile in a disposable launch tube and a reusable Command Launch Unit (CLU) with a trigger mechanism and the integrated day/night sighting device for surveillance, and target acquisition and built-in test capabilities and associated electronics.
		The missile locks on to the target before launch using an infrared focal plane array and on-board processing, which also maintains target track and guides the missile to the target after launch.

	Missiles
		Apart from an exceptional maneverability, this missile is also directly connected to the pilot's helmet, which allows engagement of targets lateral to the aircraft, which cannot be engaged by missiles with a traditional system of targeting and guidance.
		The missile's guidance is inertial with mid-course updates from the launch aircraft, followed by a terminal active radar phase from an acquisition range of about 20 kilometers.
		The two versions of the missile differ only in the size of their first booster stage and, consequently, their range: from 1.7 to 30 km in the case of the Aster 15, and from three to 80 km in the case of the Aster 30.

	AT Weapon INFO
		The missile is fired through the main gun tube like a normal tank round; after launch, however, it uses a sustain or boost/sustain motor to propel it to the target.
		This improved missile has two alternate warheads: a 4.6-kg tandem shaped-charge with a precursor charge for overcoming ERA with a penetration of 800-900 mm of RHA; and a 4.95 kg fuel-air explosive warhead for attacking bunkers and similar targets.
		The missile is about 1.5 meters long, and the launch canister appears to be fitted with a small optical port to allow the laser seeker to lock-on before launch.

		From the antitank missile to the multipurpose missile - an introduction
		That category of light antitank missiles is often considered as able to supplement heavier devices, with maximum ranges in the order of 2,500m, whose most typical examples are the MILAN by MBDA, the Javelin by Lockheed Martin, the Spike-MR by Raphael or the Bill 2.by Saab.
		To conclude on that issue, the multipurpose antitank missile is still out of the reach of industrialists, except for a few systems, whose polyvalence has to be paid for,often at a high price, in terms of delays, for instance.

	Situational Awareness: C-802 Missile Likely Shore Launched
		Rumors persist that a UAV was used in some capacity to launch the missiles that struck an Israeli missile corvette and sank an Egyptian merchantman last Friday.
		After launch, the missile climbs to about 50 m, descends to approach the target, and finally descends to about 5 m as the radar seeker locks on to the target until impact and detonation of the semi-armor-piercing warhead.
		The severe damage inflicted on the Israeli missile corvette and the sinking of the Egyptian merchantman (apparently incidentally) in the same attack indicates that the missiles used were large, antiship types, not antitank missiles.

	Shturm
		The Shturm missile was launched from the hovering helicopter at a target located 900 m away, and the Ataka missile was launched from a level flight at a speed of 200 km/h at a target located 4,700 m away.
		The missile launched from the boat can kill any surface target, neutralize shore-based fire emplacements and artillery batteries, and destroy concentrations of manpower and materiel due to the high power of its warhead and high hit probability.
		It should be pointed out that the missile's homing accuracy is not affected by the carrier boat evolutions and remains high at a sea state up to 4.

	FGM-148 Javelin Antitank Missile Test
		I have done some testing of Javelin Antitank Missile in the OFP mission editor.I can make a conclusion that this weapon of UKF Weapons 2.0 Pack surely lacks power.It's impossible to destroy nearly any not BIS standard tank with just one missile.
		I have taken ORCS T-72B,T-72B ERA,T-80UM and T-90 main battle tanks as my targets and did some test firing.Only once I managed to destroy the weakest armoured T-72B.T-72B ERA with reactive armour is usually heavily damaged,and crew is forced to leave the tank.
		Thanks guys,for your explanations.It was very strange for me too,that those ORCS tanks managed to stand multiple hits of very powerfull weapons.For example,it was neccessary to fire two TOW missiles with DKM TOW launcher to destroy their T-90.

	TOW System History
		Missile reliability was a measure of the total missile performance from trigger pull to target impact.
		The pre-development demonstration missile and the first few development rounds included a launch motor that was 6 inches in diameter (full missile diameter), about 6 inches long, and placed just behind the missile center of gravity.
		Moreover, during missile assembly the missile skin was permanently joined to each section (except for the warhead) such that missile disassembly would require destroying skin sections.

	Predator Hellfire Missile tests "totally successful"
		The Hellfire missile was chosen to arm the UAV because of its proven track record from Desert Storm back to the 1980s, its availability as a mature missile with all platforms still in production today, its weight of approximately 100 pounds and its relative ease of integration, said Lt. Col.
		Although the Army team was tasked with the project in July 2000, concerns that an armed UAV might violate the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces treaty between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union stalled the project from September to January.
		A different missile, the AGM114K (Hellfire II missile), was used in phase two because it has a digital guidance and control system.

	Navy League of the United States - Citizens in Support of the Sea Services
		Many tactical missiles are man-portable, but their size limits the amount of rounds a man can carry and makes them impractical for use by highly mobile, stealthy special operations forces.
		Existing precision missiles such as the Hellfire have been fired successfully in combat from a large unmanned aerial vehicle, the Predator, but at 100 pounds they are too big and heavy for the smaller unmanned aerial vehicles — such as the Army’s Shadow — in extensive use today with the Marine Corps and Army.
		But a missile of this size was not possible until a micro-electromechanical acceleration sensor — an electronic component that is the heart of the guidance system — was reduced to the size of an apple.

	INFRARED FLARES
		Infrared (IR) flares are pyrotechnic devices, which emit radiations of sufficient intensity in the IR region of the electro-magnetic spectrum in addition to the visible radiations.
		When fitted in an antitank missile, they help in locating the position of the target and guides the missile to the target.
		An IR flare for antitank missile MILAN meeting the stringent specifications has also been developed and after a series of validation trials productionised at M/s BDL, Hyderabad.

	US Surprised Iraq Using AT-14 Antitank Missile
		In such a system, the missile literally pulls a thin wire along behind it as it moves toward its target.
		As a direct-fire weapon, the missile travels in a straight line, rather than in an arc, as it would with mortar or howitzer artillery.
		Another disadvantage of wire-guided missiles is that they cannot be fired over trees, power lines, telephone lines, or water.

	A Disciplined Hezbollah Surprises Israel With Its Training, Tactics and Weapons - New York Times
		Hezbollah’s Russian-made antitank missiles, designed to penetrate armor, have damaged or destroyed Israeli vehicles, including its most modern tank, the Merkava, on about 20 percent of their hits, Israeli tank commanders at the front said.
		Hezbollah has also used antitank missiles, including the less modern Sagger, to fire from a distance into houses in which Israeli troops are sheltered, with a first explosion cracking the typical concrete block wall and the second going off inside.
		The antitank missiles are the “main fear” for Israeli troops, said David Ben-Nun, 24, an enlisted man in the Nahal brigade who just returned from a week in Lebanon.
